Aerohive Debuts HiveSchool

Aerohive
developed HiveSchool to help teachers "present digital content during
class, collaborate with students, monitor student activity, keep
students on task, and assign a variety of learning resources,"
according to information from the company.

HiveSchool will be
available for free and will work on any wireless network
infrastructure. An Aerohive network is not required. The system is
optimized for Chromebooks but will work on any computer running the
Chrome browser.

Key features of HiveSchool include:

A visual class roster that populates as students join the class through their device;

Content sharing from the teacher's computer or from an assigned student's computer;

Resource
features for teachers to access or save documents, Web pages,
applications and video clips, and to assign them to students;

Function for remotely viewing student screens in real time for the purpose of tracking progress or keeping students on task; and

Control
capabilities on Chromebooks, so teachers can remotely close browser
tabs on student computers and limit student browsing to an assigned
resource.

HiveSchool "builds upon the success of education-focused applications such as TeacherView, which was introduced in 2010, and StudentManager, which was introduced in 2011," according to a news release from Aerohive.

HiveSchool will be available as a free download from the Chrome Web Store in March 2016.
